Federal Reserves Bostic: Im starting to see people questioning their confidence in the dollar.February 10th - Mexicos decision to halt all oil shipments to Cuba has dealt a heavy blow to the fuel-poor nation, marking its first month without oil imports in a decade. Mexican President Sinbaum confirmed on Monday that oil shipments have been "suspended" due to Trumps threat to impose tariffs on any country selling or supplying oil to Cuba. Because Cuba is not disclosing relevant information, it is currently difficult to estimate how long the supply of motor vehicle fuel can be sustained. In a rare statement in 2024, a government official indicated that the island nation of approximately 10 million people needs about 8,200 barrels of gasoline per day, but under sanctions and blockades, this demand can barely be met.February 10th - According to the Daily Telegraph, investors are significantly reducing their positions in UK bonds as the City of London prepares for a potential Labour leadership shift.

West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, is down during the Asian session, losing about 0.4% at the time of writing amid optimism that China's demand will increase after the government set new import limitations. However, overnight and at the start of the week, the news provided economic support for its faltering economy, while the US Dollar sank, allowing investors to enter the black gold rise at a lower cost.

 

China has reopened its borders to international visitors for the first time since March 2020, when it implemented travel restrictions. Elsewhere, China has continued to demolish a large portion of its draconian zero-COVID movement regulations. According to the BBC, incoming travelers will no longer be required to be quarantined, marking a dramatic change in the country's Covid policy as it fights an outbreak. They will continue to require documentation of a negative PCR test conducted within 48 hours after flight.

 

As a result, oil prices increased early on Monday in anticipation of an uptick in demand from China, as the nation set new import curbs and offered economic support to its faltering economy. Last observed, spot West Texas Intermediate crude was priced at $ 74.57 per barrel.

 

ANZ Bank analysts explained: "China announced a new batch of import limits, an indication that the world's largest importer is gearing up to meet increased demand."

 

"The relaxation of COVID-19 regulations has already increased travel. According to the Ministry of Transport, approximately 34.7 million domestic journeys were made on the first day of the Spring Festival travel rush. This is around 40% higher than comparable days in 2022. Approximately 2.1 billion trips are anticipated during the next 40 days. This comes amid tightened supply,'' the analysts added.
